I had a match, but he had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but he was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
(Oh)
I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
But I say I want you, and you don't believe me
You say you want me, but I've got my doubts
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
(Oh)I had a match, but s/he had a lighter
I had a flame, but s/he had a fire
I was bright, but s/he was much brighter
I was high, but s/he was the sky
Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
(Oh)
